YOU shouldn't need to undismiss it... it should only be undismissed when changed.

::::::::You can undismiss it, delete the cookie labeled ''dismissSiteNotice'' for ''halo.wikia.com''.

You also don't need to update a seperate template, just add ''?action=purge'' to the end of the URL. --Paradox460: eating toast 05:13, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

==Era==
Now that the [[Template:Era|era template]] is in use, we should be careful that the "dismiss" button does not become hidden. This isn't the case now, but perhaps it could be an issue with only one line. --<b>[[User:Dragonclaws|<font color="000000">Dragon<font color="FF0000">c</font>laws</font>]]<sup>([[User talk:Dragonclaws|<font color="000000">talk</font>]])</sup></b> 20:03, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

I think the Facebook notice should be posted for a long duration, it can be a very useful tool to bring users more closer together. <u>[[User:Lovemuffin|'''<font color="RoyalBlue">Lovemuffin</font>''']]</u><sup>[[UserWiki:Lovemuffin|<font color="DarkSlateGray">Wiki Userpage</font>]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Editcount/Lovemuffin|<font color="Navy">Edit Count</font>]]</sub><sup>[[User talk:Lovemuffin|<font color="Gray">Talk Page</font>]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Lovemuffin|<font color="black">Contributions</font>]]</sub>[[Image:Dancing_master_chief.gif|35px]] 20:06, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I think inside the site notice or anywhere on a template that will be on all pages, there should by a Current Time template. <u>[[User:Lovemuffin|'''<font color="RoyalBlue">Lovemuffin</font>''']]</u><sup>[[UserWiki:Lovemuffin|<font color="DarkSlateGray">Wiki Userpage</font>]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Editcount/Lovemuffin|<font color="Navy">Edit Count</font>]]</sub><sup>[[User talk:Lovemuffin|<font color="Gray">Talk Page</font>]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Lovemuffin|<font color="black">Contributions</font>]]</sub>[[Image:Dancing_master_chief.gif|35px]] 00:52, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Why is it that, when this is updated, old stuff is removed.

== Halopedia Warz Time ==

The Halopedia Warz time schedule says "tomorrow". I suggest using an exact date so people won't get confused, as I think it also said "tomorrow" yesterday. [[User:Bioniclepluslotr|<span style="color: lime; font-family: BankGothic Md BT; font-size: 12pt;">'''BPL'''</span>]] 14:01, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
